Is It Safe To Take Super Green Powder Food By A Cancer Patient?
Question: Hello, my sister in Brazil was diagnosed with cervical cancer, removed uterus and one ovary and did radio and chemo and now only chemo. Many side effets like nausea, vomiting and diarea. She says she can't eat, specially greens. I want to take to her some supergreen powder food, but it contains some probiotics and folic acid. Will that be harmful for her?
Brief Answer:
fresh vegetables are superior
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,welcome to healthcare magic.I understand your concern.
In my opinion taking fresh vegetables is very important and nothing is comparable to them.
I strongly suggest to take all the vegetables.But if she is unable to take she can definitely consider supergreen powder as a second option.
Folic acid and proboitics are useful for quick recovery from chemotherapy.
But iam telling you very clearly taking fresh vegetables is superior to any freeze dried or artificial supplements.
Hope this satisfies your query.
Feel free to discuss further.
Best regards...Dr.srilatha
